Beyond Technical Analysis
Opening (IRA): IBIT February 21st 50 Covered Call... for a 47.07 debit.
Comments: High IVR/IV (88.4/68.6) + weakness post-FOMC. Going out to February, as there are only 30 DTE left in January, selling the -75 delta call against shares to emulate the delta metrics of a 25 delta short put, but with the built-in defense of the short call. Looking at this as a "starter" position, so will look to add at intervals, assuming I can get in at strikes/break evens better than what I currently have on.
Metrics:
Buying Power Effect/Break Even: 47.07/share
Max Profit: 2.93
ROC at Max: 6.22%
50% Max: 1.47
ROC at 50% Max: 3.11%
Will generally look to take profit at 50% max, roll out short call on take profit point test.
SHORT AUDUSDKeeping in line with the current bear trend, I would anticipate price looking to reach for levels below 0.62672. Currently short in profit at 42 pips, total target would be for 150. Although we've been ranging for the past two weeks, price has slowly but steadily been shifting downwards. A key area of interest was taken out when we crossed below 0.63500, no real bullish pressure resulted after reaching below that level. Take note that bullish volume strength has been significantly lower compared to the bearish levels. My take is this market is going to keep trending downwards a bit more. Let's see what the next couple of weeks has in store!
CELH - Reload opportunity?As per my last post on CELH, we built enough demand to hit our HTF supply at $32. Successful trade an outlook there. Now after an expected rejection at that HTF supply, we are back at our flip zone which was a strong resistance level now looking to turn into support. With a strong reaction off of this zone we may have another opportunity to at least retest the $32 supply and continue to attempt to break it.
Happy Trading :)
NU - Value Play of the DayObviously a lot can change within the next 20 minutes as Powell prepares his monologue... But just a value play here with NU Holdings - they've shown extremely strong growth over the past few quarters and I believe they continue that growth into next year when the market heats up again. Looking to average into a position here within the $9.50-$10.50 range.
Happy Trading :)
Satoshi- Over time, everything diminishes, including opportunities.
- You won't achieve the same percentage gains as those who joined in 2011.
- However, when you calculate and compare these numbers with inflation, you'll find yourself consistently on the winning side.
- One day, people won’t measure value in BTC anymore. They’ll measure it in Satoshis.
- It's still early, secure your financial freedom.
Happy Tr4Ding !
Pre FOMC View and a follow up on the USDJPYCheck out the Previous Bias on the Pair and follow through, Still expecting high volatility in the market and I believe this volatility could come from the FOMC Release.
Do well to take some partials from the second entry @154.50 and leave the rest based on our risk well calculated. Do the same on the GBPUSD Buy positions

Microsoft (MSFT): What’s Next? Will It Break $455.34 Morning, Trading Family! Let’s Talk About Microsoft (MSFT): Will It Break $455.34 or Head Lower?
Microsoft’s stock is at a key level, and the next move could set the tone for what’s ahead. The magic number right now is $455.34. Will we see a breakout to new highs, or could the price dip lower before bouncing back? Let’s break it down step by step so everyone’s ready!
If Microsoft Breaks Above $455.34
If the stock moves above $455.34 and holds steady, it could signal that buyers are in control.
What could happen?
The price might head up toward $460 or even $465. These levels could be the next spots where the stock takes a breather.
What should we watch?
Look for strong movement above $455.34 with good trading volume (lots of action). If the price quickly dips back below, it could mean the breakout isn’t real yet.
How can we trade it?
If the price holds above $455.34, it might be a good time to think about buying with a target around $460. Just make sure to use a stop-loss in case the trade doesn’t go as planned.
If Microsoft Drops Below $455.34
If the stock struggles to stay above $455.34, we could see a pullback.
The first key level:
Watch $449. This is the next area where buyers might step in to stop the price from falling.
If $449 doesn’t hold:
The price could drop further, landing somewhere in the $443–$438 range, where stronger support is likely.
How can we trade it?
Be patient! If the price dips, wait for signs that it’s stabilizing at a support level before making any moves.
What If the Price Drops Below $438?
If MSFT falls below $438, it could mean the stock is turning more bearish. At that point, we’ll need to step back and reassess the trend.
Tips for Today’s Trading
If you’re bullish: Wait for the price to break and hold above $455.34 before jumping in.
If you’re bearish: Watch for a clean break below $449 for potential short opportunities.
Always: Use stop-losses to protect yourself and trade with a plan!
Bottom Line:
The $455.34 level is the line in the sand. If we break above, it’s good news for the bulls. If not, we could see a dip to $449 or lower.

Trade What You See
Opening (IRA): EWZ January 17th 23 Short Put... for a .71 credit.
Comments: Here, I'm just trying to reduce my cost basis in my shares of stock (which is kind of an "ugh" at 31.65), so looking to take assignment at $23/share. Because of this, I will look to run this all the way to expiry, at which point I either get assigned or it expires worthless.
Metrics:
Break Even/Buying Power Effect: 22.29
Max Profit: .71
ROC at Max: 3.19%
WTI - Short is now in the Short Sell ZoneLooking for an entry now to go short on WTI.
Stop loss will be above the previous high on the higher timeframe, and take profit will be lower down, potentially at the lower green zone, where I will then look for a buy position.
I am also watching the volume footprint to understand whether the order flow is slowing down, and the sellers are starting to take over. That is my final green light to short WTI on this trade.
Scalping! XAU! Waiting for gold price to BREAK from trendSCALPING XAU / USD
⭐️Smart investment, Strong finance
⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION:
Gold price (XAU/USD) stays under pressure during the early European session on Wednesday but manages to hold above the one-week low reached the previous day, showing limited follow-through selling. Expectations of a less dovish Federal Reserve (Fed) continue to support higher US Treasury bond yields, creating headwinds for the non-yielding yellow metal. However, USD bulls appear cautious, holding off on making strong moves ahead of the pivotal FOMC decision.
⭐️Personal comments NOVA:
Moving sideways in 2 trendlines, M30. Leaning towards breaking the uptrend and waiting for today's interest rate cut results.

Lightcoin back down to the most recent cycle trend line Sub $120After an explosive mid day, lightcoin jumped to $130 from a low of $114 USD per coin only to sink back down to Sub $118 per coin later in the evening. Looking at the trend line this cycle, lightcoin has stuck closely to this area. The question is... will it break down or will we see a repeat of the last two cycles with a jump to over $420 per coin. For long term holders of LTC this cycle, a run to $420 would be a massive profit.
The talk of an ETF may do the trick or is it an attempt to revive a dying alt-coin. As they say, buy the rumor, sell the news.
For me, I have to say, with a jump and then drop like what happened today makes me think twice about purchasing this coin. It could make you rich, or make you broke. Trade with caution.
Good luck all.
